Will convertible outer sill fit cabriolet?

[ChrisDixon]

I note there are different part numbers but as in the flesh the sills look similar, will a (pre-facelift) convertible sill fit a cabriolet?

[Brakebuster]

yes, to a point....

the difference comes with the inner sections behind the front wheel , as there is a different filler panel , as on the convertible, there is a longitudinal tube to strengthen the sill, the outer panel has a flitch plate to surround this

however

the actual outer sill skin is identical between all three models ( coupe , convertible and cabriolet ) , and exactly the same length


if you are after some, i have a pair of cab ones brand new in the box from Jaguar that i never used ,

Are the 'cab ones diffferent from the coupe? I might consider at least acquiring what panels I have for future use, as if I wait long enough the value of the car will go up enough to justify spending money on it! Please post or PM me the price. Do you have any other 'cab specific bits? You may have seen my posts about the rear hardback glass, I can't find anything out about this at all and am on the verge of having a polycarbonate version made.
